Pros

I liked my coworkers and piers. The work was challenging starting up a new manufacturing facility.

Cons

No work / home balance. Elon Musk expected all employees to sacrifice their personal life for his gain. Real managers with automotive experience were replaced and pushed out by ex military.

Pros

The mission of Tesla Motors is admirable. Product is one to stand behind.

Cons

Regional management is an absolute disaster and comparable to working for a frat house. Dishonest, irresponsible, and unqualified to lead. No one seems to want to take responsibility for their own actions. Tesla sells the dream, but management quickly destroys it.

Pros

The mission of the company is outstanding. Everyone embraces the idea of saving the world by cleaning up the planet. We have the drive, the motivation, and the means of doing it.

Cons

No striking cons. The only tradeback is the amount of hours spent working. You get very caught up and engaged in what you do, which does tend to eat up your time.
